Rates Badly OFF.

Rates on passenger business in all directions
continue demoralized, and, in fact is growing
more SO. What is somewhat singular is that
most of the present wars have been inaueurated
by the strong lines, even the Pennsylvania is
blamed for the present war east-bound rates.
The failure of the Pennsylvania to make its
issue Of tickets to the centennial celebration
''iron-clad" did the mischief. The general pas
senger agent doubtless took the ground that as
there were ticket scalpers in Philadelphia
this issue Of tickets would not be scalped but
the scalpers, who are always the alert found
a way TO do SO. and readily adopted it. The gen
eral condition of rates mas become bad that
very little good can be expected before the close
of the year. as the roads have sold many low
rate tickets to societies and excursonsts that
1t will require the balance of the year TO get
them all in. and until they retired it is
less to suppose that the average traveller
will think of buying full-rate ticket while
brokers constantly offering them
ut half price The fact that the
roads ever made such ruinous rates. and gave
such latitude for their use, a mystery,
every railway official must have foreseen what
the result would be- more especially they
went through a similar experience last year.
with the exception that only a moderate num-
Der were sold In 1856 as compared with the sales
OF the past thirty days, and those advertised to
he sold within month. Another vicious feature
in connection with these low-priced tickets is
that the railways by making the rate edu-
eating the public to believe what is not the case
II g. that one cent per mile is sufficient
pensation, hence they will in future demand
that the rates be made permanently.

Affairs of the Northern Pacific.

NEW YORK. Sept A-The directors of the
Northern Pacific railroad met to-day to complete
the preparations for the annual election to-mor-
row. and committee was appointed to select
names for tire regular ticket. 1t turns out in
advance of the election that the old Northern
Pacific party holds much more than half the
company's stock. They inclined, however
to give representation to the Oregon Navigation,
Oregon ~ Transcontinental. Union Pacific and
Wisconsin Central companies. The feeling OF
those holding control this afternoon, was that
the combined roads will not be allowed to have
more than four directors. The report for the
year ending June 80. 1887 was approved by the
board of directors. and will show gross earnings
of $l2, 789 448. increase of 81, $50 211 the

CHAPTER XIII.

| Mr.. Duran's house in Berkeley square
| is presided over by his aunt-a little,
thin, why, kindly old lady, with cork
screw ringlets and high peaky nose
| Her acquantances are as Did fashioned
as her curls, but it is amazing how many
| she has Of them They are of the staid
eminently respectable order, all able to
| count their generations, and all carriage
| people" Yet it might be admitted that
sometimes Miss Duran pines for the
Young and frivolous, and would be glad to
| welcome them inside her nephew's doors
her doors, as they might be called, so
little does he interfere with her arrange
| ments. and so seldom does he show him
| self between 10 a. m. and Il p. IN.
On this particular Wednesday quite u
stir and hustle of the thick silken skirts
| take place, as Gerald Massareene, smil-
ing and gay, enters Miss Duran's draw
| ing room There is, in spite of the deb
| OMAR manner that distinguishes him,
and induces all these old young men to
| look askance at him, and grow green
| with envy, and that causes the quite old
men to wink and nudge each other, and
call him "a sod dog"-a suspicion of anx-
| iety that renders his kind eyes melan-
choly, and makes him favorite at once
with all the gentle, elderly women.
He is fashionable looking young
man. exquisitely dressed, and is, In fact,
such departure from Miss Duran's
drawing room, that he creates an i'm
mense sensation, that is only to be sur
passed by the entrance of lovely young
woman ten minutes afterward, who
sweeps UP to Miss Duran with the most
charming smile in the world on her beau
tiful face.
Dear Miss Duran" she says, slipping
her little gray clad hand into that of the
astonished spinster, I'VE have been want
ing to come and see you for such time
-auntie and but there have been so
many other tiresome engagements. And,
after all, it is better, is it not, to leave the
best to the last?' this with Il swift glance
at Massareene that sets his heart a-beat-
ing. even now, we could not come
together; there was some absurd crush
somewhere, and we had promised to CO.
so told auntie wanted to see you even
more than she did; so packed her Off to
her afternoon and came to mine.'
Her low trainante voice, her pretty
smile, the gentle pressure of the little
hand, all won Miss Duran's heart at once.
She had met Millicent two or three
times, bI now she persuades herself that
they have been good friends for many
years. What lovely creature! How
nice of her to come to this dull old
house just to see stupid old maid Dear,
dear me, there were not many who would
do that!
Meantime the 'lovely creature is
taking her tea from Gerald Massareene's
hands. Tea Of an exquisite flavor and
rich with country cream, sent up spec
tally from the heart of Hampshire for
Miss Duran's Wednesdays. Tea served in
priceless old Crown Derby, before which
the modern limitations might hold down

over the hateful sentence, and trying to
be as Just to his rival as nature will
permit him.

for quite two minutes-a long time when
one Is waiting anxiously for the next
word. II have heard she says, now
very seriously, "that he plays for such
high stakes that he is often at his wits
end to know how to meet his debts of
honor-so- called Hearing this has led
me to the belief that he is marrying me
| more as means of gaining money to carry
on his play than from any higher mo-
tive"
"There you wrong him." says Massa-
| reene eagerly. "He is no defaulter,
whatever else he may be. He lost q
| tremendous sum to Black, of the Blues
about two months ago; but he paid up
far sooner than Black ever expected

"You probably know more of his pri-

carelessly. He always appears to me to

however. There is something that con-

"You don't think you could do it on

wistfully.

now she hears d step approaching-oh'

"One never thinks nowadays-there is

tone Tea, Grant? Thanks. No;
nothing else, thank you; unless, indeed,

MEMS HEIGHT.

The Average Stature Of the Human Race
Incressing Steadily.
An English gentleman has been paying
some attention to the measure of the stature
of the human race. The results of his study
are shown IN the following letter: II think

certain the average height of the human
race in the past, as IL appears to me from
such data as have been able to collect that
the human race has continuously increased

many Roman collins, where ! happened to
come across them, and my average shows
that the Roman could not have greatly ex-

Russian merchant In Yakutsk, Siberia,
decided that he would no longer draw
water from the Lena river AZ everybody
did IN that far northern town, but
he would dig well and have water
at his own door. So he set to work
with pick and shovel. After his men
had dug through the few feet Of earth
that had been thawed by the summer
sun they declared they had struck
solid rock. It was only frozen soil, how.
ever, and the merchant kept them at
work al that summer. Next year he
courAgeously resumed work, expecting
at every foot he dug to get through the
frozen earth; but after penetrating 105
fest In solidly frozen soil he covered the
big hole with boards and decided that
river water was good enough for him.
The Imperial Academy Of Sciences at
ST. Petersburg heard this remarkable
story and they thought It good idea to
sse how far frost extended toward the
centre Of the earth at Yakutsk. So they
sent men to resume digging, and kept up
the work for many months. When they
had reached depth Of 8S2 feet, and
were still in solidly frozen ground, they
gave up the job, carefully covered tho
